  I manage to get the ‘category’ and ‘tags’ in Pages by doing so:

  add_action( 'init', 'enable_tag_category' );
  function enable_tag_category() {
      register_taxonomy_for_object_type('post_tag', 'page');
      register_taxonomy_for_object_type('category', 'page');
  }

  Now, I am trying to get the categories assigned in the page and not haveing any luck. I tried:

  wp_get_object_terms( $pageID, 'category', array('orderby' => 'term_id', 'hide_empty' => false) );
  get_object_taxonomies( $page->page_type, 'objects' );
  get_terms(array('taxonomy' => 'category','hide_empty' => false));

  … but none seem to work. Any suggestions to try out? Thanks.

  [I asked this question in stactexchange as well but didn’t get any response]

  If there is another way to enable Tag and Category plus the retrieval method, I am happy to test those out.

  Only Posts (not pages) can have categories assigned to them.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, support docs and support forums, and many people get confused about the two.

  The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/

  This is wordpress.COM support. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
  (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
  (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting
  (3) sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.

  Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/

  Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
  http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack

  However, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
  See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support.
